Traders pour into leveraged ETFs, gold in bid to weather volatility — Bloomberg

Traders are embracing diametrically opposed exchange-traded fund (ETF) strategies in a bid to navigate one of the most unpredictable financial markets in recent history, according to data from Bloomberg Intelligence.  The year-to-date has seen record inflows to ETFs providing leveraged long exposure to volatile assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies, as well as funds holding risk-off assets such as cash and gold, the data shows.  “[T]here's basically record flows going into leveraged long ETFs but also cash and gold ETFs as people buy the dip and hedge the dip at the same time. May the best degen win!,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas said in an April 23 post on the X platform source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/traders-into-leveraged-etfs-gold-volatility-bloomberg?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
